TABLES LAMPS SOFAS U.S. Woman Abducted, Paper Says CAIRO (AP) Egyptian authorities seized an attractive U.S. diplomatic secretary last summer in a spy probe involving new Soviet aircraft sent to Egypt, the semiofficial newspaper A1 Ahram said Friday. An article by Mohamed Hassanein Haikal, a close confidant of President Anwar Sadat, said the woman became a pawn in the Middle East crisis for several months and the case went all the way up to Secretary of State William P.

Rogers. She wras identified by diplomatic sources in Beivut as Sue Anne Hands, secretary to Eugene Trone of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Cairo. Diplomats there said she was picked up in July, taken to a detention center on Cairos outskirts and held until September. She left Egypt then and is believed to have returned to Washington.

Decline Comment The U.S. diplomatic mission and Egyptian officials declined comment on the case. In his weekly signed editorial, Haikal said the woman was picked up with the uncovering of a formidable espionage ring, along with a naturalized Egyptian of Greek origin who was the manager of a big company. The arrests came during delicate negotiations which began last summer between Washington and Cairo, he said. After the arrest, he said Washington began to press for her release.

Cairo replied that she would be released when the investigation was complete, he wTOte. ash ingtons insistent request turned into pressure. Rogers would not be able to neet Avith Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad so long as an American woman, carrying a diplomatic passport, was being detained. President Anwar Sadat replied that she would not be released before the investigation was complete and he did not care whether Rogers met Riad or not. Washingtons tone now "changed, trying to persuade Egypt to release its spy.

Well, -so what? Suppose espionage Vas actually the case, the operation was not against Egypt but against the Soviet Union with whom the United States is engaged in a world conflict. Wanted Information Haikal, apparently paraphrasing the alleged American response, continued: The spying was aimed at obtaining information about the Soviet aircraft supplied to Egypt. Egypt could rest assured that nothing of the information the United States obtained had been communicated to Israel. Later, Washington claimed that the continued detention of the American woman diplomat would obstruct all that the United States was doing toward settlement of the crisis, he said. Replied President Sadat: What is the United States doing to settle the crisis.

Until now, we do not know what the U.S. basic proposals for a settlement are. Haikal said that after the womans release, the U.N. General Assembly adopted its Middle East resolution in December, Premier Golda Meir visited Washington and met with President Nixon, and Jien Washington announced it supply Israel with more warplanes and license it to manufacture advanced U.S. weapons.

The Associated Press exclusively to the use of all local news printed 6ooer'afc wen at ail A news Los Angeles Times Service MANAGUA, NICARAGUA For what reason and for how long no one was saying, but there appeared to be not the slightest doubt Friday that Howard Hughes, the wealthy recluse, had settled in for a time here in the unlikely city of Managua. At the Intercontinental Hotel, on a gentle slope above the city and Lake Managua beyond, the lobby was crawling with newspaper, radio and television people scratching frantically for an explanation for the mystery man's presence in this Central American backwater. There was none. Take Over Floor The eighth floor of the hotel, a two-sided pyramid reminiscent of the Mayan temples that once flourished here, was out of bounds. The hotel managements explanation was that the floor was closed off Tuesday night due to a malfunction in the air condnion-i system.

Nonetheless, Hughes is reliably reported to be in residence there, sharing with his entourage all 17 rooms. There is no question, a spokesman at the U.S. Embassy told reporters, but what Hughes is here in Managua. This spokesman, whe said that Hughes representatives had called on U.S. Ambassador Turner B.

Shelton both Thursday and Friday, said it had been made clear to the ambassador that Hughes was at the Intercontinental. Good Morning He added that he had no notion as to why Hughes came to Nicaragua or how long he planned to stay. And none of the score or more of young Americans at the hotel, presumed to be members of Hughes staff, could be persuaded to say more than good morning. Because Ambassador Shelton had served as U.S. consul general in tne Bahamas before his assignment to Managua just over a year ago, it had been reported that Shelton was a personal friend of Hughes, who spent more than a year there before his departure this week.

Shelton said Friday, however, that he has never met Hughes, never talked with him. Heavy-Duty SAWHORSE Model SH-3 on Display come seei Complete as pictured BUY SAVE AT KETCKIUAVS Wt Art ftr The Bt-lt-Yttrselfer, The Httedymon, The Professional. 4th So. at 7th W. 355-46S6 Queen Size SOFA BED Reg.

The official news agency said the federation lodged the protest with Prof. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), who lives in Amsterdam. To settle an impasse on the site for the match, Euwe announced Feb. 14 that both Reykjavik, Iceland, and Yugoslavia, would play host to the 24-game match. Euwe said in a communique the first 12 games would be played in Belgrade and the other 12 in Reykjavik.
